FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical agents and, more specifically, is directed to compounds and compositions useful for modulating Aurora kinase, and to uses and methods for managing cell proliferation and for treating cancer.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cancer is one of the most widespread diseases afflicting mankind and a major cause of death worldwide. In an effort to find an effective treatment or a cure for one or more of the many different cancers, over the last couple of decades, numerous groups have invested a tremendous amount of time, effort and financial resources. However, to date, of the available cancer treatments and therapies, only a few offer any considerable degree of success.

Cancer is often characterized by unregulated cell proliferation. Damage to one or more genes, responsible for the cellular pathways, which control progress of proliferation through the cell cycle, typically causes the loss of normal regulation of cell proliferation. These genes code for various proteins, which participate in a cascade of events, including protein phosphorylation, leading to cell-cycling progression and cell proliferation. Various kinase proteins have been identified, which play roles in the cell cycling cascade and in protein phosphorylation in particular.

One class of proteins found to play a part in cell cycling and, therefore, cell proliferation is the Aurora kinase family of proteins. Aurora kinases are enzymes of the serine/threonine kinase family of proteins, which play an important role in protein phosphorylation during the mitotic phase of the cell cycle. There are three known members of the Aurora kinase family, Aurora A, Aurora B and Aurora C, also commonly referred to as Aurora 2, Aurora 1, and Aurora 3, respectively.

The specific function of each Aurora kinase member in mammalian cell cycle has been studied. Aurora-A is localized to the centrosome during interphase and is important for centrosome maturation and to maintain separation during spindle assembly. Aurora-B localizes to the kinetochore in the G2 phase of the cell cycle until metaphase, and relocates to the midbody after anaphase. Aurora-C was thought to function only in meiosis, but more recently has been found to be more closely related to Aurora-B, showing some overlapping functions and similar localization patterns in mitosis. Each aurora kinase appears to share a common structure, including a highly conserved catalytic domain and a very short N-terminal domain that varies in size. (See R. Giet and C. Prigent, J. Cell. Sci., 112:3591-3601 (1999)).

Aurora kinases appear to be viable targets for the treatment of cancer. Aurora kinases are overexpressed in various types of cancers, including colon, breast, lung, pancrease, prostate, bladder, head, neck, cervix, and ovarian cancers. The Aurora-A gene is part of an amplicon found in a subset of breast, colon, ovarian, liver, gastric and pancreatic tumors. Aurora-B has also been found to be overexpressed in most major tumor types. Overexpression of Aurora-B in rodent fibroblasts induces transformation, suggesting that Aurora-B is oncogenic. More recently, Aurora-B mRNA expression has been linked to chromosomal instability in human breast cancer. (Y. Miyoshi et al., Int. J. Cancer, 92:370-373 (2001)).

Further, inhibition of one or more of the Aurora kinases by several parties has been shown to inhibit cell proliferation and trigger apoptosis in several tumor cell lines. Particularly, inhibition of Aurora has been found to arrest cell cycling and promote programmed cell death via apoptosis. Accordingly, there has been a strong interest in finding inhibitors of Aurora kinase proteins.

Thus, the inhibition of Aurora kinases has been regarded as a promising approach for the development of novel anti-cancer agents. For example, WO 04/039774 describes aza-quinazolinones for treating cancer via inhibiton of Aurora kinase, WO 04/037814 describes indazolinones for treating cancer via inhibiton of Aurora-2 kinase, WO 04/016612 describes 2, 6, 9-substituted purine derivatives for treating cancer via inhibiton of Aurora kinase, WO 04/000833 describes tri- and tetra-substituted pyrimidine compounds useful for treating Aurora-meiated diseases, WO 04/092607 describes crystals useful for screening, designing and evaluating compounds as agonists or antagonists of Aurora kinase and U.S. Pat. No. 6,919,338 and WO 03/055491 each describe substituted quinazoline derivatives as inhibitors of Aurora-2 kinase.

Examples of cancer include, without limitation, carcinoma, lymphoma, sarcoma, blastoma and leukemia. More particular examples of such cancers include squamous cell carcinoma, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, hepatoma, breast cancer, colon carcinoma, and head and neck cancer. While the term “cancer” as used herein is not limited to any one specific form of the disease, it is believed that the methods of the invention will be particularly effective for cancers which are found to be accompanied by unregulated levels of Aurora kinase(s) in the mammal.

The terms “treat”, “treating” and “treatment” as used herein refer to therapy, including without limitation, curative therapy, prophylactic therapy, and preventative therapy. Prophylactic treatment generally constitutes either preventing the onset of disorders altogether or delaying the onset of a pre-clinically evident stage of disorders in individuals.

The term “mammal” as used herein refers to any mammal classified as a mammal, including humans, cows, horses, dogs and cats. In one embodiment of the invention, the mammal is a human.

A “pharmaceutically-acceptable derivative” denotes any salt (also referred to as “pharmaceutically-acceptable salt”), any prodrug such as a phospshate or an ester of a compound of this invention, or any other compound which upon administration to a patient is capable of providing (directly or indirectly) a compound of this invention, or a metabolite or residue thereof, characterized by the ability to inhibit Aurora kinase.

The phrase “therapeutically-effective” is intended to quantify the amount of each agent, which will achieve the goal of improvement in disorder severity and the frequency of incidence over treatment of each agent by itself, while avoiding adverse side effects typically associated with alternative therapies.

The terms “ring” and “ring system” refer to a one or more rings, typically fused together where more than one ring, comprising the delineated number of atoms, said atoms being carbon or, where indicated, a heteroatom such as nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur. The ring itself, as well as any substitutents thereon, may be attached at any atom that allows a stable compound to be formed. The term “nonaromatic” ring or ring system refers to the fact that at least one, but not necessarily all, rings in a bicyclic or tricyclic ring system is not fully unsaturated.

“Leaving groups” generally refer to groups that are displaceable by a nucleophile. Such leaving groups are known in the art.

It should be understood that compound 5 may also be a compound with formulas II, III and IV described herein. Representative examples of such reactions are further described hereinbelow.

The strategy for preparing compounds 5, as exemplified in scheme 1, may generally be approached by building and/or broken down 2 primary linking bonds, i.e., the connections of both L¹ and L². Thus, compounds 7 (similar to compounds 5 but having R⁷ and R⁸ taken together to form a phenyl ring, as in Formula IV herein) may alternatively be prepared according to the method shown in scheme 2 below.

Compounds 7 of Formulas I-IV (where L¹ is O and L² is NH), can be prepared according to the method generally described in Scheme 2. As shown, a nucleophilic displacement reaction by a compound 2 of an aryl halide 4 (where the halide as shown is chloride) should generally afford hydroxy intermediates 6. Such reaction may optionally be run in the presence of acid to afford compounds 6. Starting compounds 1 may be reacted with alcohols 6, under suitable conditions such as those conditions described in scheme I above or the Examples herein (Methods C1-C7), to afford compounds 7. As mentioned in scheme 1, compound 2 may also be a thiol, a primary or secondary amine or a nucleophilic carbon species (all of which are not shown) to effect the transformation to compound 7, as appreciated by those skilled in the art. In the event compound 2 is a thiol, the reaction may be accomplished without the need for acidic or basic conditions, and may also be accomplished at ambient temperatures, as appreciated by those skilled in the art. Representative examples of such reactions are further described hereinbelow. Suitable transformation methods are known to those skilled in the art, and are generally described in Jerry March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, 4^(th) edition (1992), which disclosure is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Compounds 10 can be made by treating compounds 8 (where L¹ is as defined herein) with either of reagents 9 in a Suzuki (Method A1), Stille (Method A2) or Sonagashira (Method A3) type reaction, under conditions suitable for each reaction, respectively, as shown in scheme 3 (also referred to herein as General Method A). Such reactions work well where R⁶ is an aromatic group. Each reaction method is known in the art and generally appreciated by those skilled in the art. Examples of such reactions are described in further detail hereinbelow. In addition, methods for Sonagashira reactions may be found in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2003, 42, 5993-5996. Ether linked R⁶ groups may also be installed onto chloro-phthtalazines 8 using a base, such as cesium carbonate (Method A4) under suitable light conditions, such as irradiation, to afford compounds 10. Amine linked R⁶ groups may also be afforded onto phthalazines 8 using heat (Method A5) in the presence of a suitable amine, such as piperidine, to provide compounds 10.

The method of scheme 3 allows desired R⁶ groups to be the final step of synthesis of compounds 10. Care must be taken to restrict the R¹, R⁷ and R⁸ in this method to those groups, which would not interfere with or react under suitable reaction method and/or conditions to form compounds 10, as appreciated by persons of ordinary skill in the art.

Compounds 13 may be prepared by a single reaction between a bromo-substituted compound 11 and a desired R¹ group appropriately substituted with a nucleophile or other suitable group to prepare compound 13. Such transformations may be accomplished using a variety of different methods, as appreciated by those skilled in the art. For example, desirable amino-R¹ groups can be installed at a suitable position on a D′ ring by treating bromide 11 in the presence of a suitable palladium species and a suitable R¹-halide, R¹-amine or other desired R¹-reagent under suitable conditions. For example, modified Suzuki conditions involving the use of a Pd(0) mediated-coupling with an aryl boronate in the presence of mild base, such as sodium or potassium carbonate or bicarbonate, in toluene may also afford compounds 13. Compounds 13 can also be prepared using corresponding stannanes or zincates, as is known in the art. Alternatively, desired R¹ groups may be installed onto the D′-ring using conventional methods (not shown), as appreciated by those skilled in the art.

The Examples described hereinafter represent exemplary methods of synthesizing or preparing desired compounds of Formulas I-IV, intermediates and various starting materials and/or building blocks thereof. It should be appreciated that these methods are merely representative examples and other conventional, known or developed alternative methods may also be utilized. It should also be appreciated that the exemplary compounds are merely for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention in any manner.

The invention further provides methods for making compounds of Formulas I-IV. For example, and in one embodiment, there is provided a method of making a compound of Formula 1, the method comprising the step of reacting compound of Formula A

with a compound of Formula B

wherein A⁸ and R⁶⁻⁸ of the compound of formula A and A¹, A², D′, L¹, R¹, A³⁻⁶ and n of the compound of formula B are as defined herein, to make a compound of Formula I. This method may also be used to make a compound of Formulas II, III and IV.

While the examples described above provide processes for synthesizing compounds of Formulas I-IV, other methods may be utilized to prepare such compounds. In the procedures described herein, the steps may be performed in an alternate order and may be preceded, or followed, by additional protection/deprotection steps as necessary.

Methods involving the use of protecting groups may be used. Particularly, if one or more functional groups, for example carboxy, hydroxy, amino, or mercapto groups, are or need to be protected in preparing the compounds of the invention, because they are not intended to take part in a specific reaction or chemical transformation, various known conventional protecting groups may be used. For example, protecting groups typically utilized in the synthesis of natural and synthetic compounds, including peptides, nucleic acids, derivatives thereof and sugars, having multiple reactive centers, chiral centers and other sites potentially susceptible to the reaction reagents and/or conditions, may be used.

The protecting groups may already be present in precursors and should protect the functional groups concerned against unwanted secondary reactions, such as acylations, etherifications, esterifications, oxidations, solvolysis, and similar reactions. It is a characteristic of protecting groups that they readily lend themselves, i.e. without undesired secondary reactions, to removal, typically accomplished by solvolysis, reduction, photolysis or other methods of removal such as by enzyme activity, under conditions analogous to physiological conditions. It should also be appreciated that the protecting groups should not be present in the end-products. Those of ordinary skill in the art know, or can easily establish, which protecting groups are suitable with the reactions described herein.

The protection of functional groups by protecting groups, the protecting groups themselves, and their removal reactions (commonly referred to as “deprotection”) are described, for example, in standard reference works, such as J. F. W. McOmie, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Plenum Press, London and New York (1973), in T. W. Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Wiley, New York (1981), in The Peptides, Volume 3, E. Gross and J. Meienhofer editors, Academic Press, London and New York (1981), in Methoden der Organischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry), Houben Weyl, 4^(th) edition, Volume 15/1, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart (1974), in H.-D. Jakubke and H. Jescheit, Aminosäuren, Peptide, Proteine (Amino Acids, Peptides, Proteins), Verlag Chemie, Weinheim, Deerfield Beach, and Basel (1982), and in Jochen Lehmann, Chemie der Kohlenhydrate: Monosaccharide und Derivate (Chemistry of Carbohydrates: Monosaccharides and Derivatives), Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart (1974).

The procedures may further use appropriate reaction conditions, including inert solvents, additional reagents, such as bases (e.g., LDA, DIEA, pyridine, K₂CO₃, and the like), catalysts, and salt forms of the above. The intermediates may be isolated or carried on in situ, with or without purification. Purification methods are known in the art and include, for example, crystallization, chromatography (liquid and gas phase, and the like), extraction, distillation, trituration, reverse phase HPLC and the like, many of which were utilized in the Examples above. Reactions conditions such as temperature, duration, pressure, and atmosphere (inert gas, ambient) are known in the art and may be adjusted as appropriate for the reaction.

All synthetic procedures described herein can be carried out either in the absence or in the presence (usually) of solvents or diluents. As appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art, the solvents should be inert with respect to, and should be able to dissolve, the starting materials and other reagents used. Solvents should be able to partially or wholly solubilize the reactants in the absence or presence of catalysts, condensing agents or neutralizing agents, for example ion exchangers, typically cation exchangers for example in the H⁺ form. The ability of the solvent to allow and/or influence the progress or rate of the reaction is generally dependant on the type and properties of the solvent(s), the reaction conditions including temperature, pressure, atmospheric conditions such as in an inert atmosphere under argon or nitrogen, and concentration, and of the reactants themselves.

Suitable solvents for conducting reactions to synthesize compounds of the invention include, without limitation, water; esters, including lower alkyl-lower alkanoates, e.g., EtOAc; ethers including aliphatic ethers, e.g., Et₂O and ethylene glycol dimethylether or cyclic ethers, e.g., THF; liquid aromatic hydrocarbons, including benzene, toluene and xylene; alcohols, including MeOH, EtOH, 1-propanol, IPOH, n- and t-butanol; nitriles including CH₃CN; halogenated hydrocarbons, including CH₂Cl₂, CHCl₃ and CCl₄; acid amides including DMF; sulfoxides, including DMSO; bases, including heterocyclic nitrogen bases, e.g. pyridine; carboxylic acids, including lower alkanecarboxylic acids, e.g., AcOH; inorganic acids including HCl, HBr, HF, H₂SO₄ and the like; carboxylic acid anhydrides, including lower alkane acid anhydrides, e.g., acetic anhydride; cyclic, linear, or branched hydrocarbons, including cyclohexane, hexane, pentane, isopentane and the like, and mixtures of these solvents, such as purely organic solvent combinations, or water-containing solvent combinations e.g., aqueous solutions. These solvents and solvent mixtures may also be used in “working-up” the reaction as well as in processing the reaction and/or isolating the reaction product(s), such as in chromatography.

The invention further includes salt forms of compounds of Formulas I, II, III and IV. Salts of a compound of the invention having a salt-forming group may be prepared in a conventional manner or manner known to persons skilled in the art. For example, acid addition salts of compounds of the invention may be obtained by treatment with an acid or with a suitable anion exchange reagent. A salt with two acid molecules (for example a dihalogenide) may also be converted into a salt with one acid molecule per compound (for example a monohalogenide); this may be done by heating to a melt, or for example by heating as a solid under a high vacuum at elevated temperature, for example from 50° C. to 170° C., one molecule of the acid being expelled per molecule of the compound.

Acid salts can usually be converted to free-base compounds, e.g. by treating the salt with suitable basic agents, for example with alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, or alkali metal hydroxides, typically potassium carbonate or sodium hydroxide. Suitable acid and base addition salts are further described in the Definition Section herein.

The invention further encompasses pro-drugs of compounds of Formulas I, II, III and IV. For example, a phosphate group may be a pro-drug derivative of an alcohol group or an amine group, or an ester may be a pro-drug of a carboxylic acid functional group. Phosphate groups may be incorporated into desired compounds of Formulas I, II, III and IV in order to improve upon in-vivo bioavailability and/or other pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic properties of the compound.

The invention further encompasses “intermediate” compounds, including structures produced from the synthetic procedures described, whether isolated or not, prior to obtaining the finally desired compound. Structures resulting from carrying out steps from a transient starting material, structures resulting from divergence from the described method(s) at any stage, and structures forming starting materials under the reaction conditions are all “intermediates” included in the invention. Further, structures produced by using starting materials in the form of a reactive derivative or salt, or produced by a compound obtainable by means of the process according to the invention and structures resulting from processing the compounds of the invention in situ are also within the scope of the invention.

Starting materials of the invention, are either known, commercially available, or can be synthesized in analogy to or according to methods that are known in the art. Many starting materials may be prepared according to known processes and, in particular, can be prepared using processes described in the examples. In synthesizing starting materials, functional groups may be protected with suitable protecting groups when necessary. Protecting groups, their introduction and removal are described above.

Compounds of the present invention can possess, in general, one or more asymmetric carbon atoms and are thus capable of existing in the form of optical isomers as well as in the form of racemic or non-racemic mixtures thereof. The optical isomers can be obtained by resolution of the racemic mixtures according to conventional processes, e.g., by formation of diastereoisomeric salts, by treatment with an optically active acid or base. Examples of appropriate acids are tartaric, diacetyltartaric, dibenzoyltartaric, ditoluoyltartaric, and camphorsulfonic acid and then separation of the mixture of diastereoisomers by crystallization followed by liberation of the optically active bases from these salts. A different process for separation of optical isomers involves the use of a chiral chromatography column optimally chosen to maximize the separation of the enantiomers. Still another available method involves synthesis of covalent diastereoisomeric molecules by reacting compounds of the invention with chiral reagents, such as an optically pure acid in an activated form or an optically pure isocyanate. The synthesized diastereoisomers can be separated by conventional means such as chromatography, distillation, crystallization or sublimation, and then hydrolyzed to deliver the enantiomerically pure compound. The optically active compounds of the invention can likewise be obtained by using optically active starting materials. These isomers may be in the form of a free acid, a free base, an ester or a salt.

The compounds of this invention may also be represented in multiple tautomeric forms. The invention expressly includes all tautomeric forms of the compounds described herein.

The compounds may also occur in cis- or trans- or E- or Z-double bond isomeric forms. All such isomeric forms of such compounds are expressly included in the present invention. All crystal forms of the compounds described herein are expressly included in the present invention.

Substituents on ring moieties (e.g., phenyl, thienyl, etc.) may be attached to specific atoms, whereby they are intended to be fixed to that atom, or they may be drawn unattached to a specific atom, whereby they are intended to be attached at any available atom that is not already substituted by an atom other than H (hydrogen).

The synthetic chemistry transformations, as well as protecting group methodologies (protection and deprotection) described above and useful in synthesizing the inhibitor compounds described herein, are known in the art and include, for example, those such as described in R. Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH Publishers (1989); T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3^(rd) edition, John Wiley and Sons (1999); L.

Paquette, editor, Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons (1995).

The compounds of the invention may be modified by appending appropriate functionalities to enhance selective biological properties. Such modifications are known in the art and include those which increase biological penetration into a given biological compartment (e.g., blood, lymphatic system, central nervous system), increase oral availability, increase solubility to allow administration by injection, alter metabolism and alter rate of excretion. By way of example, a compound of the invention may be modified to incorporate a hydrophobic group or “greasy” moiety in an attempt to enhance the passage of the compound through a hydrophobic membrane, such as a cell wall.

Aurora Kinase HTRF Assays

AuroraA-TPX2-Homogeneous Time Resolved Fluorescent (HTRF) Kinase Assay:

The Aurora-A HTRF assay begins with Aurora-A in the presence of ATP phosphorylating the biotinylated peptide PLK. The reaction incubates for about 120 min. Detection reagents are added to quench the reaction. These agents stop the reaction by diluting out the enzyme and chelating the metals due to the presence of EDTA. After addition, the assay is incubated overnight to allow the detection reagents to equilibrate.

The AuroraA HTRF assay comprises 1 μL of compound in 100% DMSO, 20 μL of ATP and biotinylated PLK, and 20 p-L of AuroraA-TPX2 KD GST for a final volume of about 41 μL. The final concentration of PLK is about 1 μM. The final concentration of ATP is about 1 μM (Km(app)=1 μM+/−0.1) and the final concentration of AuroraA is about 5 nM. Buffer conditions are as follows: 60 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 25 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl, 2 mM DTT, 0.05% BSA.

The assay is quenched and stopped with 160 μL of detection reagent. Detection reagents are as follows: Buffer made of 50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 3 mM EDTA, 0.05% BSA, 0.1% Tween20. Added to this buffer prior to reading is Steptavidin allophycocyanin (SA-APC) at a final conc in the assay of 0.0005 mg/mL, and europilated anti-phosphoPLK Ab (Eu-anti-PLK) at a final conc of 0.02 nM.

The assay plate is read in either a Discovery or a RubyStar. The eu-anti-PLK is excited at 320 nm and emits at 615 nm to excite the SA-APC which in turn emits at 655 nm. The ratio of SA-APC at 655 nm (excited due to close proximity to the Eu-anti-PLK because of phosphorylation of the peptide) to free Eu-anti-PLK at 615 nm will give substrate phosphorylation.

Many of the Examples described herein were tested, and fund to be active compounds. Table I includes related biological data, which may be interpreted using the activity gauge below. Selected Examples 29-45 and 74-370 exhibited an average activity in the Aurora kinase A HTRF assay as follows:

-   “+” represents an activity (IC₅₀) in the range of 2.5 uM-500 nM; -   “++” represents an activity (IC₅₀) in the range of 500-100 nM; and -   “+++” represents an activity (IC₅₀) of less than 100 nM.     AuroraB-Homogeneous Time Resolved Fluorescent (HTRF) Kinase Assay:

The AuroraB HTRF assay begins with AuroraB in the presence of ATP phosphorylating the biotinylated peptide Histone H3. The reaction incubates for about 90 min. the reaction is quentched by addition of detection reagents, which stop the reaction by diluting out the enzyme and chelating the metals due to the presence of EDTA. After addition, the assay is incubated for about 60 min to allow detection reagents to equilibrate.

The AuroraB HTRF assay comprises 1 μL of compound in 100% DMSO, 20 μL of ATP and biotinylated Histone H3, and 20 μL of AuroraB FL His for a final volume of 41 μL. The final concentration of Histone H3 is 0.1 μM. The final concentration of ATP is 23 μM (Km(app)=23 μM+/−2.6) and the final concentration of AuroraB is 400 μM. Buffer conditions are as follows: 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 5 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM MgCl, 0.5 mM MnCl, 2 mM DTT, 0.05% BSA.

The assay is quenched and stopped with 160 μL of detection reagent. Detection reagents are as follows: Buffer made of 50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 3 mM EDTA, 0.05% BSA, 0.1% Tween20. Added to this buffer prior to reading is Steptavidin allophycocyanin (SA-APC) at a final conc in the assay of 0.001 mg/mL, and europilated anti-phosphoHistoneH3 Ab (Eu-anti-His H3) at a final conc of 0.064 nM.

The assay plate is read in either a Discovery or a RubyStar. The eu-anti-His H3 is excited at 320 nm and emits at 615 nm to excite the SA-APC which in turn emits at 655 nm. The ratio of SA-APC at 655 nm (excited due to close proximity to the Eu-anti-HisH3 because of phosphorylation of the peptide) to free Eu-anti-His H3 at 615 nm will give substrate phosphorylation.

Many of the Examples described herein were tested, and fund to be active compounds. Table I includes related biological data, which may be interpreted using the activity gauge below. Selected Examples 2945 and 74-370 exhibited an average activity in the Aurora kinase B HTRF assay as follows:

-   “+” represents an activity (IC₅₀) in the range of 2.5 uM-500 nM; -   “++” represents an activity (IC₅₀) in the range of 500-100 nM; and -   “+++” represents an activity (IC₅₀) of less than 100 nM.

Aurora Kinase Cell-based Assay

HeLa Cell 24 Hr Ploidy Assay Protocol

The purpose of this assay is to evaluate the ability of selected individual compounds to induce Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content (ploidy) in cells through failed cell division. Cell cycle analysis is a rapid and efficient way to evaluate the status of DNA content (ploidy) of a given cell. HeLa cells (1×10⁴HeLa cells/well) in 100 ul of media (MEM+10% FBS) were plated in 96-well plates (Packard View) and cultured for 24 hrs at 37° C. maintained in a 5% CO₂ atmosphere. The following day, cells were treated for 24 hrs with inhibitor compounds (10 pt. Dose ranging from 0.0024-1.25 μmol/L). The compounds were serially diluted in DMSO (0.25% final concentration). The cells were fixed (3.7% Formaldehyde and 1% glutaraldehyde) and permeabilized (1×PBS with 1% BSA and 0.2% Triton X-100) in preparation for nuclear staining. The well plates were stained for 45 minutes at RT in the dark using Hoechest 33342 nuclear stain at 0.5 μg.ml (Stock of 10 mg/ml, Invitrogen, CA, Cat # H3570). The nuclear stain was removed by aspiration and the cells were washed with wash buffer. A Cellomics Array Scan Vti plate reader was used to acquire the DNA ploidy data of the cells using Cell Cycle bioapplication. Numbers for each of “valid cell count/well”, “% of 4N cells” and “% of >4N cells” were calculated with the assistance of an Activity Base 5.1 ca software and dose curves were generated using an XLFit software. With XLFit, final EC₅₀ IP and EC₅₀ transit values, as well as the Max and Min, were calculated for each curve.

Of the compounds assayed, a number of compounds exhibited activity in the 24 h cell-ploidy content assay, as provided in the Tables herein. Selected Examples exhibited an average activity in the DNA ploidy assay as follows:

-   “+” represents an activity (EC₅₀) in the range of 2.5 uM-500 nM; -   “++” represents an activity (EC₅₀) in the range of 500-100 mM; and -   “+++” represents an activity (EC₅₀) of less than 100 nM.

HCT116 Xenograft Model

Compounds of the present invention were evaluated in HCT116 xenografts, a human colon carcinoma model. HCT116 cells were chosen to evaluate compounds of Formulas I-IV in a tumor model based on in vitro data having showed a marked increase in polyploidy in the cells in response to Aurora B inhibition. These cells were grown as subcutaneous xenografts in female HSD (Harlan Sprague Dawley) athymic nude mice. Mice were implanted subcutaneously with 2×10⁶ cells in matrigel on day 0. Treatment was initiated on day 10 with compounds of the invention at the indicated dosage p.o for 2 consecutive-days per week (intermittent schedule, such as 2 days on—5 days off) or 7-days (continuous schedule) per week, for a selected number of weeks. For example, in one study, animals were dosed with selected compound samples BID on an intermittent dosing paradigm of two days on and then 5 days off per week, for four weeks (four dosing cycles) at 15, 7.5, and 3.75 mg/kg. Tumor growth inhibition and body weights were measured throughout the study and compared to the vehicle control group. All groups were provided nutritional supplements on a daily basis throughout the study to maintain body weight. Terminal neutrophil counts were taken at the end of this study. Measures were made by ANOVA followed by Scheffe post hoc test using StatView software v5.0.1.

Materials

Tissue Culture: 10 Flasks containing a total of 7.68×10⁸HCT116 tumor cells were harvested for tumor cell implantation. HCT 116 cells were re-suspended to a cell concentration of about 2×10⁷ cells/ml in serum-free McCoys 5A media +50% matrigel. Cell viability was measured to be about 99.3%.

Animals: Female Athymic Nude mice approximately 14 weeks of age (Harlan Sprague Dawley) were used for the experiment. Mice were housed five per filter-capped cage in sterile housing in an environmentally controlled room (temperature 23±2° C., relative humidity 50±20%) on a 12-hr light/dark cycle. Animals were fed a commercial rodent chow (Formulation 8640; Tek Lab, Madison, Wis.) and received filter-purified tap water ad libitum. Dietary calcium and phosphorus contents were 1.2% and 1.0%, respectively. Mice were individually identified by microchips (Biomedic Data Systems, Inc—Seaford, Del.) implanted subcutaneously at least one week prior to the study. Mice were implanted with 2×10⁶ cells (100 μl) subcutaneously on the right flank on Day 0. On Day 9, tumor-bearing mice were measured and randomized into five groups (n=10). Treatment of the mice with various compound dosages began on Day 10. The duration of the dosing phase of the study was generally four weeks. During the dosing period, mouse tumor volumes were measured with a digital caliper and weighed twice per week. Tumor volumes were calculated as follows: Tumor Volume (mm³)=[(W²×L)/2] where width (W) is defined as the smaller of the 2 measurements and length (L) is defined as the larger of the 2 measurements. The following Examples exhibited an inhibition of tumor growth in the 116HCT tumor xenograph model: 160 (˜86% inhibition @ 3.75 mg/kg 2-day dosing scheduling QD); 165 (˜63% inhibition @ 2.5 mg/kg 2-day dosing scheduling BID); and 207 (˜67% inhibition @ 5.0 mg/kg 2-day dosing scheduling QD).

Based on the ability to modulate kinases impacting angiogenesis, the compounds of the invention are also useful in treatment and therapy of proliferative diseases. Particularly, these compounds can be used for the treatment of an inflammatory rheumatoid or rheumatic disease, especially of manifestations at the locomotor apparatus, such as various inflammatory rheumatoid diseases, especially chronic polyarthritis including rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis or psoriasis arthropathy; paraneoplastic syndrome or tumor-induced inflammatory diseases, turbid efflusions, collagenosis, such as systemic Lupus erythematosus, poly-myositis, dermato-myositis, systemic sclerodermia or mixed collagenosis; postinfectious arthritis (where no living pathogenic organism can be found at or in the affected part of the body), seronegative spondylarthritis, such as spondylitis ankylosans; vasculitis, sarcoidosis, or arthrosis; or further any combinations thereof.

FORMULATIONS

Also embraced within this invention is a class of pharmaceutical compositions, also referred to as medicaments, comprising the active compounds of Formulas I-III in association with one or more non-toxic, pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients and/or carriers, diluents and/or adjuvants (collectively referred to herein as “excipient” materials) and, if desired, other active ingredients. The pharmaceutically active compounds of this invention can be processed in accordance with conventional methods of pharmacy to produce medicinal agents for administration to patients, including humans and other mammals.

The compounds of the present invention may be administered to a subject by any suitable route, preferably in the form of a pharmaceutical composition, adapted to such a route, and in a dose effective for the treatment intended. The compounds and compositions of the present invention may, for example, be administered orally, mucosally, topically, rectally, pulmonarily such as by inhalation spray, or parentally including intravascularly, intravenously, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly intrasternally and infusion techniques, in dosage unit formulations containing conventional pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, including carriers, adjuvants, and vehicles.

For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of, for example, a tablet, capsule, suspension or liquid. The pharmaceutical composition is preferably made in the form of a dosage unit containing a particular amount of the active ingredient. Examples of such dosage units are tablets or capsules. For example, these may contain an amount of active ingredient from about 1 to 2000 mg, and typically from about 1 to 500 mg. A suitable daily dose for a human or other mammal may vary widely depending on the condition of the patient and other factors, but, once again, can be determined using routine methods and practices.

The amount of compounds which are administered and the dosage regimen for treating a disease condition with the compounds and/or compositions of this invention depends on a variety of factors, including the age, weight, sex and medical condition of the subject, the type of disease, the severity of the disease, the route and frequency of administration, and the particular compound employed. Thus, the dosage regimen may vary widely, but can be determined routinely using standard methods. A daily dose of about 0.01 to 500 mg/kg, advantageously between about 0.01 and about 50 mg/kg, and more advantageously about 0.01 and about 30 mg/kg body weight may be appropriate. The daily dose can be administered in one to four doses per day.

For therapeutic purposes, the active compounds of this invention are ordinarily combined with one or more “excipients” appropriate to the indicated route of administration. If administered on a per dose basis, the compounds may be admixed with lactose, sucrose, starch powder, cellulose esters of alkanoic acids, cellulose alkyl esters, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, magnesium oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric and sulfuric acids, gelatin, acacia gum, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or polyvinyl alcohol, to form the final formulation. For example, the active compound(s) and excipient(s) may be tableted or encapsulated by known and accepted methods for convenient administration. Examples of suitable formulations include, without limitation, pills, tablets, soft and hard-shell gel capsules, troches, orally-dissolvable forms and delayed or controlled-release formulations thereof. Particularly, capsule or tablet formulations may contain one or more controlled-release agents, such as hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, as a dispersion with the active compound(s).

In the case of psoriasis and other skin conditions, it may be preferable to apply a topical preparation of compounds of this invention to the affected area two to four times a day.

Formulations suitable for topical administration include liquid or semi-liquid preparations suitable for penetration through the skin (e.g., liniments, lotions, ointments, creams, pastes, suspensions and the like) and drops suitable for administration to the eye, ear, or nose. A suitable topical dose of active ingredient of a compound of the invention is 0.1 mg to 150 mg administered one to four, preferably one or two times daily. For topical administration, the active ingredient may comprise from 0.001% to 10% w/w, e.g., from 1% to 2% by weight of the formulation, although it may comprise as much as 10% w/w, but preferably not more than 5% w/w, and more preferably from 0.1% to 1% of the formulation.

When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredients may be employed with either paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredients may be formulated in a cream with an oil-in-water cream base. If desired, the aqueous phase of the cream base may include, for example at least 30% w/w of a polyhydric alcohol such as propylene glycol, butane-1,3-diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glycerol, polyethylene glycol and mixtures thereof. The topical formulation may desirably include a compound, which enhances absorption or penetration of the active ingredient through the skin or other affected areas. Examples of such dermal penetration enhancers include DMSO and related analogs.

The compounds of this invention can also be administered by transdermal device. Preferably transdermal administration will be accomplished using a patch either of the reservoir and porous membrane type or of a solid matrix variety. In either case, the active agent is delivered continuously from the reservoir or microcapsules through a membrane into the active agent permeable adhesive, which is in contact with the skin or mucosa of the recipient. If the active agent is absorbed through the skin, a controlled and predetermined flow of the active agent is administered to the recipient. In the case of microcapsules, the encapsulating agent may also function as the membrane.

The oily phase of the emulsions of this invention may be constituted from known ingredients in a known manner. While the phase may comprise merely an emulsifier, it may comprise a mixture of at least one emulsifier with a fat or an oil or with both a fat and an oil. Preferably, a hydrophilic emulsifier is included together with a lipophilic emulsifier which acts as a stabilizer. It is also preferred to include both an oil and a fat. Together, the emulsifier(s) with or without stabilizer(s) make-up the so-called emulsifying wax, and the wax together with the oil and fat make up the so-called emulsifying ointment base, which forms the oily dispersed phase of the cream formulations. Emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the formulation of the present invention include, for example, Tween 60, Span 80, cetostearyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, sodium lauryl sulfate, glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax, or other materials well known in the art.

The choice of suitable oils or fats for the formulation is based on achieving the desired cosmetic properties, since the solubility of the active compound in most oils likely to be used in pharmaceutical emulsion formulations is very low. Thus, the cream should preferably be a non-greasy, non-staining and washable product with suitable consistency to avoid leakage from tubes or other containers. Straight or branched chain, mono- or dibasic alkyl esters such as di-isoadipate, isocetyl stearate, propylene glycol diester of coconut fatty acids, isopropyl myristate, decyl oleate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, 2-ethylhexyl palmitate or a blend of branched chain esters may be used. These may be used alone or in combination depending on the properties required. Alternatively, high melting point lipids such as white soft paraffin and/or liquid paraffin or other mineral oils can be used.

Formulations suitable for topical administration to the eye also include eye drops wherein the active ingredients are dissolved or suspended in suitable excipient, especially an aqueous solvent for the active ingredients. The active ingredients are preferably present in such formulations in a concentration of 0.5 to 20%, advantageously 0.5 to 10% and particularly about 1.5% w/w.

Formulations for parenteral administration may be in the form of aqueous or non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions or suspensions. These solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders or granules using one or more of the excipients, carriers or diluents mentioned for use in the formulations for oral administration or by using other suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The compounds may be dissolved in water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, tragacanth gum, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants and modes of administration are well and widely known in the pharmaceutical art. The active ingredient may also be administered by injection as a composition with suitable carriers including saline, dextrose, or water, or with cyclodextrin (ie. Captisol), cosolvent solubilization (ie. propylene glycol) or micellar solubilization (ie. Tween 80).

The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.

For pulmonary administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be administered in the form of an aerosol or with an inhaler including dry powder aerosol.

Suppositories for rectal administration of the drug can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient such as cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols that are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum and release the drug.

The pharmaceutical compositions may be subjected to conventional pharmaceutical operations such as sterilization and/or may contain conventional adjuvants, such as preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, buffers etc. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings. Such compositions may also comprise adjuvants, such as wetting, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

Combinations

While the compounds of the invention can be dosed or administered as the sole active pharmaceutical agent, they can also be used in combination with one or more compounds of the invention or in conjunction with other agents. When administered as a combination, the therapeutic agents can be formulated as separate compositions that are administered simultaneously or sequentially at different times, or the therapeutic agents can be given as a single composition.

The phrase “co-therapy” (or “combination-therapy”), in defining use of a compound of the present invention and another pharmaceutical agent, is intended to embrace administration of each agent in a sequential manner in a regimen that will provide beneficial effects of the drug combination, and is intended as well to embrace co-administration of these agents in a substantially simultaneous manner, such as in a single capsule having a fixed ratio of these active agents or in multiple, separate capsules for each agent.

Specifically, the administration of compounds of the present invention may be in conjunction with additional therapies known to those skilled in the art in the prevention or treatment of cancer, such as with radiation therapy or with neoplastic or cytotoxic agents.

If formulated as a fixed dose, such combination products employ the compounds of this invention within the accepted dosage ranges. Compounds of Formulas I-III may also be administered sequentially with known anticancer or cytotoxic agents when a combination formulation is inappropriate. The invention is not limited in the sequence of administration; compounds of the invention may be administered either prior to, simultaneous with or after administration of the known anticancer or cytotoxic agent.

There are large numbers of antineoplastic agents available in commercial use, in clinical evaluation and in pre-clinical development, which would be selected for treatment of neoplasia by combination drug chemotherapy. Such antineoplastic agents fall into several major categories, namely, antibiotic-type agents, alkylating agents, antimetabolite agents, hormonal agents, immunological agents, interferon-type agents and a category of miscellaneous agents.

Alternatively, the compounds of the invention may also be used in co-therapies with other anti-neoplastic agents, such as other kinase inhibitors including angiogenic agents such as VEGFR. inhibitors, p38 inhibitors and CDK inhibitors, TNF inhibitors, metallomatrix proteases inhibitors (MMP), COX-2 inhibitors including celecoxib, rofecoxib, parecoxib, valdecoxib, and etoricoxib, NSAID's, SOD mimics or α_(v)β₃ inhibitors.

The foregoing is merely illustrative of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the disclosed compounds. Variations and changes, which are obvious to one skilled in the art, are intended to be within the scope and nature of the invention, which are defined in the appended claims. All mentioned references, patents, applications and publications, are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety, as if here written.
